Mr DELTATANGO once again as per earlier post, the "camhead" motor does NOT have rocker arms, may look like rocker arms but they are a pivoting shoe/lever/follower/shim retainer (take your pick). Have a closer look at the pics of it.:eek1

It was just a matter of time before BMW had to switch from air to water cooled. If they decide to go with a wet clutch, that would be an improvement. Air cooled is the main reason I started to look at that engine and I still prefer an air cooled engine, a lots easier to work on then water cooled engine. I will miss the old engine, but I'm still very interested to see what the new one is going to look like.

I read #1 differently as in liquid refrigeration - not a spanish expert at all just doing literal translation.

typical tough to decipher spy pictures but at least the water cooled beast is closer than we think...

Can a better copy be provided or link to the article

You're right n.1 can be literally translated as liquid refrigeration, but the mag's cover page refers to the water boxer. Here's a link to the magazine but you only get to see the cover - they need to sell to stay alive...
